"For example, I went to Busan, the second-largest city in South Korea, and was surprised to find only 10 pages in the book dedicated to it."
"Great LP edition overall."
"Worth what you spend on it."
"Always a fan of the LP Guidebooks and this didn't disappoint."
"I’ve purchased books from the lonely planet before and this one is no different."
"The map in the back was definitely more up to date than Google and the places recommended to visit were all fun to go to."
"It has some great recommendations for sights, bars, restaurants, etc."
